Save or Splurge - Lip Pencils

There are some makeup and beauty products that are of the same quality regardless of the price tag - in this Save or Splurge Series I'll be rummaging through my makeup collection and comparing my high end and drug store products to see if you can save your pennies or if you need to splurge.

It's only this year that I have truly come to appreciate the importance of a good lip pencil, they provide much needed shape to my otherwise lacklustre lips. I have pencils ranging in price from £15 to £1 - but which is the better investment?

I find my more affordable lip pencils my favourite, they are creamy, smooth and hella pigmented and the price is obviously on point. However I also have some more expensive pencils that give the same effect. For me personally I will also choose the cheaper option, as I have so many amazing lip pencils that cost only £1, so it seems silly to spend money on MAC and other higher end brands when they give the same result as the more affordable alternative.
